So I remember hearing about dwarf fortress a couple years ago but for whatever reason I never looked into it. I knew it was a complicated game that used ASCII graphics, but that's about it. Saw a stream of it a couple days ago and it got me interested. I'm well aware of the games steep learning curve, so I'm trying to ease my way into it as best I can.

I'm feeling pretty good about what I've managed to figure out so far. I've only really scratched the surface, but I think I'm starting to get a good understanding of the game. Definitely a game worth looking into if your willing to put in the time.

hardcore dave! the game frightens me and i have no desire to play but drew/dave/vinny videos are the best and i'm excited for part 2.

Those guys really do make the best videos, they really need to do more flight club, random pc games, and load our last save.

The whole time watching that stream I couldn't help but think how crazy the game was, 2 hours in and they were barely getting started. The book has been pretty helpful though, I managed to make it a bit farther then where they left off. I built a few workshops, made some beds and tables, starting a little farming, set up a chicken coup, and did a couple other things.
